Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sewing Machines The day Of the hand-made garment is long past, and the efficient worker is making use Of the machine, not Only for plain sewing, but for every type of work that garment-making requires. Why overhand lace when a little practice will enable one to use a device that not only sews on the lace, but hems the edge as well? In order that the school work shall carry over to the best advantage in the home, it is firmly believed that a sewing laboratory should be equipped with as many makes of sewing machines as possible, and, in any event, that each type Of mechanism should be represented. Not all homes use the same make Of machine, and the student naturally wishes to Operate a machine like that in her home. There is still an other reason for the use Of several makes Of machine in the school laboratory. Every girl is a potential customer Of some sewing machine company, and a knowledge of every standard make of machine should be apart of her general information.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Invention of the Sewing Machine It had no instrument panel with push-button controls. It was not Operated electronically or jet-propelled. But to many l9th-century people the sewing machine was probably as awe-inspiring as a space capsule is to their 20th century descendants. It was expensive, but, considering the work it could do and the time it could save, the cost was more than justified. The sewing machine became the first widely advertised consumer appliance, pioneered installment buying and patent pooling, and revolutionized the ready-made clothing industry. It also weathered the protests of those who feared the new machine was a threat to their livelihood. The practical sewing machine is not the result of one man's genius, but rather the culmination Of a century of thought, work, trials, failures, and partial successes Of a long list of inventors. History is too quick to credit one or two men for an important invention and to forget the work that preceded and prodded each man to contribute his share. It is no discredit to Howe to state that he did not invent the sewing machine. Howe's work with the sewing machine was important, and he did patent certain improvements, but his work was one step along the way. It is for the reader to decide whether it was the turning point.

This book was released on 2017-11-12 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mechanics of the Sewing Machine The Joint Committee on Physics has asked us to give in this publication a summary of the information thus far received as teachers in history, civics and science in high schools, vocational schools and colleges may appropriately use. The data given as to the probable number of machines in use and the economic gain of machine over hand sewing, we realize, do not answer all of the questions which may be raised regarding the influence upon the labor market and the home life by the concentration of garment work into shops where nearly all processes are machine operations. A discussion of this question in the civics class will help to give new light upon changes that are now taking place in the life habits of the women of this country. Projects seem to be proving as valuable an aid to education as any new method or device. Projects which center around raising corn or operating some real machine seem to hold the student's attention while he obtains a practical grasp of the principles which need to be learned.
